Make sure you check the policy terms, as they can differ from one state to the next. Generally speaking, horseplay resulting in injury, injuries incurred while committing an illegal act or from an act of God are not covered.

Commercial insurance is designed to protect the business you’ve worked so hard to build. It can safeguard your own assets, the people who work for you, your customers, and your company assets too.
With so many types of commercial insurance on offer, we’ve designed this guide to help you choose the right coverage for your company.
Commercial General Liability
This covers your company against potential losses from third-party claims that arise because of advertising injury, medical expenses, property damage, bodily injury, electronic data liability, libel, slander, lawsuit defense for the above events only, and more. It will usually cover actions made by you or your staff, regardless of whether they are temporary or permanent members of your team. Any size or type of business needs to buy CGL coverage, and there is a range of levels of coverage to choose from.
Tip: Excess liability coverage might also be presented when you buy commercial general liability coverage. This is designed to give you extra liability coverage in the event a claim exceeds your standard policy limits.
Commercial Property Insurance
Individual terms will vary depending on the insurer, but generally, you’re covered for theft, accidents, vandalism, fire, and natural disasters. If a covered event occurs, then your inventory, equipment, building, fencing, signage, landscaping, and other’s property will be covered up to your policy limits.
Professional Liability Insurance
This is also known as E&O coverage and is designed to protect you in the event you face any legal action surrounding claims of negligence. Regardless of any fault or wrongdoing, if you are a service-based business, this will cover the cost of a legal defence.
Product Liability Insurance
Accidents happen, and if you make, sell, or even distribute products, including offering repairs, then you should buy commercial product liability to protect you from claims and damages. If you manufacture hazardous products, you’ll need a specialist insurer to cover you.
Commercial Umbrella Insurance
This works much like a shield, protecting your assets should you face unprecedented liability costs that exhaust the limits of your underlying insurance. It cannot be bought alone and is a supplemental policy that works over multiple commercial liability policies. Personal and professional liabilities are not usually covered under umbrella insurance.
Workers Compensation Coverage
This is state-mandated in almost every state and ensures your workers can get treatment or compensation in a timely manner if they sustain an injury at work or develop a work-related illness. Without this, the liabilities fall on your business, so even when it is not state-mandated, it’s reassuring to have it in place.
Our team of Commercial Insurance experts will be happy to discuss your unique needs. Contact us today, and we’ll work through the options for you, leaving you free to focus your attention back on your business.
